AWARDS FROM 2022

To all the club members that participated in the 2022 Awards Program, I want to say Thank You. Being the Award’s Chairman gives you access to all the projects, accomplishments, education opportunities and success of Garden Clubs across the State. You have proven that you are a busy group. The Awards ceremony for the awards we submitted to NGC is not until May so they will be posted at a later date. My one wish would be that more clubs participate in this fun activity. If you are a club that is experienced in applying, share your knowledge and encourage another club to participate. If you or your club wants to sponsor an Award for next year, chose a specific award and receive recognition. As I pass along this responsibility to your new Award’s Chairman, I wish you luck for next year encourage everyone to APPLY. Congratulations to all the winners of the GCKY and SAR Awards listed below.

GCKY President’s Message – February 2023

Here we are, looking for more spring flowers after that memorable arctic blast froze the ground as 2022 ended! May these spring flowers bring hope. It seems like we have had a rough fall and winter with Covid still around, the new strain of flu, and RSV. Too many of our members have been ill and too many are no longer with us. Haven’t we been fortunate to have known these generous, energetic, and like-minded members? ‘Gone but not forgotten’ is so true of these ladies who have left us with their special brand of leadership and volunteerism.

For me, in-person meetings are my preference, hands down. Because of the possibility of inclement weather, sickness, time, and cost, we decided to zoom our January GCKY Executive Committee Meeting. We had a few issues that were to be expected, but this allowed some to attend who otherwise could not. Several items were on the agenda for discussion, but reports were given first. It is inspirational to hear the district directors’ reports of all the good things done by their clubs!

Abby Laub, who took pictures of headquarters for WeddingWire, the All American Tea Party, and a family gathering, has asked for gardening tips and photos to share on our Instagram page. I have sent her some and given credit to Pat Neasbitt, a master gardener who writes blog entries for NGC. I would hope that some of our members would be willing to share some tips and photos. If you have some, please send to me and I will share with Abby.

Her photos and others will be used to promote our headquarters for event rentals. The house and garden tour of Botherum, June 17-18, will be promoted through our GCKY website and social media. This event will be used as a fundraiser for The Garden Club of Kentucky, helping with special projects and sustainability of our headquarters. Abby will design a flyer that will be used to promote this tour on Father’s Day weekend and will design a brochure to be given out at the entrance, allowing for a self-guided tour of the beautiful buildings and gardens. Invite your nonmember friends to this event!

Several other clubs and councils are making preparations for tours and flower shows. Much planning and hard work go into these events. Your presence and support would be very much appreciated. And don’t forget that others are preparing to host Environmental Schools. Our series of Gardening Schools has had to be put on hold for now. Information will be available on our website. The remaining Flower Show Schools will be held again at headquarters in March and July. We are very excited about all these schools! I encourage you to register for any or all. Competent teachers, active learning, and great comaraderie is what you will experience!

The South Atlantic Region Convention and our state convention will be in March, followed by the national convention in May. These are exciting times and, especially, since we will welcome our new incoming region, state, and national officers. And I have been so honored to serve as your GCKY President! I urge members to attend the entire conventions or even a day. You will be welcomed with gracious hospitality and will enjoy the fellowship with other garden club members…great people!

Please remember to continue to donate to our GCKY Natural Disaster Re-Leaf Fund. Soon there will be needs for trees, plants, and seeds. And don’t forget to save large containers for planting tree seedlings and native plants to share. A special committee has been working to help develop grant application guidelines and an application form. We will hear their recommendation at convention.

Let’s keep growing by never forgetting to invite, invite, invite! And don’t forget to plant seeds for new clubs, remembering it takes time for seeds to grow, so don’t give up! Let’s Grow!

Garden Club Member

Franklin-Simpson Garden Club   

Dogwood District

 

Camille Fuller was a mainstay of the Franklin Community. In addition to being a founding member of the Franklin-Simpson Garden Club (back in 1963), she was a faithful member of Franklin First Baptist Church, a member of the Simpson County Historical Society, the local DAR chapter, the Ambulance Board, and the Franklin Country Club.
Camille enjoyed her independence almost to the end, living at home with her cat Yoda and her beautiful yard and garden and her Kentucky Wildcats on TV. Though she was little (fun-sized, she liked to say), she was mighty. Camille’s nickname was “Sarge,” and she definitely was in charge. She is greatly missed.

THINGS TO DO – autumn

Last week marked 60 years since Rachel Carson wrote “Silent Spring”” in which she promoted using cultural methods to control insects saying they were far more effective in the long run than spraying pesticides.

  • Stink bug(Halyomorpha halys) invasion has begun. They do not bite, lay eggs, or stain, but if disturbed, they will stink. Do not vacuum. Using a tissue, gently pick up and flush or remove to outdoors. Seal up cracks around windows and doors.
  • Garden – Heat and low humidity quickly dry out container plants, especially those in porous containers. As rain is not predicted this week, it is important to soak container plants at least once a week. During the week check on soil moisture to a depth of 1.5” and water as needed. Inverted water-filled drink bottles into the soil will provide slow-released moisture.   
  • Houseplants – Prepare enough space for plants returning for the winter. Wash containers and both sides of foliage using horticulture soap. Use horticulture oil to treat insects and repeat as needed. Isolate plants that have resided on the ground or hard surface as they may bring in insects in their soil. When the house temperature rises, insects will hatch. Inspect frequently.
  • Trees – Dr. Rick Durham, UK Extension specialist, reminds us that during a drought, trees and shrubs require deeper watering and more often than normal. Shallow watering forces roots to the surface where they dry out faster. Durham advises to water the plant’s entire root zone (from trunk extending to the drip line – to 1’ beyond) using a hose nozzle that produces a finer spray of droplets that soak more easily into the soil. Birch, tulip poplars, pin oaks and silver maples may require up to 3” a week. For more information request ID-89 How Dry Season Affects Wood Plants from your local Extension Service.
  • Vegetables – Order berry bushes to plant now.

Dig and Store tender tropicals for next year’s flowers.

Many of our most beautiful summer flowers are tender tropical plants that will not survive our winters. It is a waste of time to dig them each fall and waste of money to have to repurchase each spring. That is if you can find the same varieties. As they must be dug anyway, it makes sense to clean and store them overwinter.

The when and how to dig is key to saving the tender bulbs, corms, rhizomes and tubers. (They will be referred to as ‘bulbs’, to save space.) Dig or lift after foliage has died back or no more than 3”, and before the first frost. By then bulbs have developed buds  or, ready to produce them in the spring or summer. If interplanted with other plants, carefully dig with a narrow trowel. Clumps can be lifted with a narrow pitch-fork and separated. Save extra bulbs as special gifts for garden friends. Gently remove dirt and cut roots back to 1”. Do not wash as the bulbs will absorb the extra moisture and can contribute to rot. Whatever containers you use to store, make sure that it is not air-tight. Punch holes in cardboard and layer with newspaper, peat moss, vermiculite making sure the bulbs do not touch. Slightly mist the material to prevent it from drying the bulbs.

Store in a dark, dry location at about 50 degrees – unheated garage, basement(only if dry) or non-defrosting refrigerator. Check monthly on them and discard rotten, moldy, or desiccated bulbs. Plant at the appropriate time. 

Tender bulbs include: begonia tuberosa, canna, caladium, dahlia, elephant ear, ornamental ginger, and gladiolus.
